a great ingredient
I've discovered for cookery
in the past it was never
added to my recipes
for I wasn't aware
of its tasty properties

recently a friend
introduced me to it
now all my meat and vegetable dishes
are super hits

those bland old recipes
of an era gone by
no longer in my kitchen
do they apply

garlic is now my favorite
cooking additive
and on my crockery plates
long shall it live
